25 Times Emma Watson & Hermione Granger Were The Same Person

Emma and Hermione? Both total role models (duh!)

1 of 25

They both care about the issues! While Emma launched her incredible He For She campaign, Hermione started S.P.E.W (The Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare)

2 of 25

Hermione thought it was cruel that house elves weren't paid for their work. In her UN speech, Emma said, "I think it is right I am paid the same as my male counterparts." So do we!

3 of 25

The girls both went through a MAJOR style transformation. Remember when Hermione rocked up to the Yule Ball in that pink gown? Iconic.

4 of 25

Emma and Hermione have beauty AND brains, whether it be at Hogwarts or Brown University.

5 of 25

Both are perfectionists. Hermione never likes to get things wrong, and Emma once admitted that she'd not only memorise her own lines, but Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint's too!

6 of 25

Hermione's a muggle and so is Emma when you think about it! Her parents weren't in the showbiz game (they were lawyers) and so Em was the first to be blessed with magical acting powers.

7 of 25

Like most young girls, the pair had some very awkward teen crushes - Hermione fancied Ron and Emma fancied Tom Felton (aka Draco Malfoy!)

8 of 25

Both Emma and Hermione have attracted a bevy of boys, from Viktor Krum and Ron Weasley, to One Night Only's George Craig and (if rumours are to be believed) Harry Styles.

9 of 25

Emma and Hermione are both cat ladies too! While Hermione had her trusty cat Crookshanks, Emma has Bubbles and Domino in real life.

10 of 25

Not EVERY day has been a fashion win for Hermione or Emma, we're sure they'd be happy to admit...

11 of 25

Both girls have had their image-conscious moments, with Hermione famously declaring, "Is that really what my hair looks like from the back?!" As for Emma? "As a younger woman, that pressure [to look good] got me down, but I've made my peace with it."

12 of 25

Despite being hot as hell, Emma told W Mag, "The allure of being sexy never really held any excitement for me." I think we can safely say Hermione felt the same...

13 of 25

Emma may have graduated from Brown University in America, but she also studied for a year at Oxford, which is basically the closest thing you can get to Hogwarts.

14 of 25

In 2014, Emma missed the Oscars after-party because she fell asleep in her hotel room and once she woke up decided to just order a pizza instead. Hermione would have been proud.

15 of 25

When it comes to competition, Emma and Hermione don't play. Whether it's potions or some school sport (Emma played Netball), they were always in it to win it.

16 of 25

Don't get them started on trolls. While Hermione was quite literally attacked by one in the first Harry Potter movie, Emma deals with them in the online sense via Twitter. Sigh.

17 of 25

They were both very young when they got their big breaks. Hermione found out she was going to Hogwarts aged 11, and Emma was the ripe old age of 9 when she landed her role in Harry Potter.

18 of 25

Keeping quiet isn't their game - when things need to be said, you just know Emma and Hermione will be there to speak their minds.

19 of 25

Despite dealing with the dramas of Voldemort or, you know, filming a massive movie franchise, Emma and Hermione both graduated from school/uni with flying colours.

20 of 25

Both girls have their fair share of accolades too! While Hermione got Prefect badges, Emma picks up MTV Movie Awards. Same difference.

21 of 25

While Emma told Vogue, "I don’t want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about,” we all know failure was Hermione's number one fear. However, she did get that one less-than-perfect test score, and survived anyway.

22 of 25

Emma once said, "A lot of the criticism I have had in my life, some of the harshest moments have been comments from other women." Hermione had to listen to Moaning Myrtle. Same thing, really.

23 of 25

One of Emma's most famous quotes? "Girls should never be afraid to be smart." Hermione certainly wasn't!

24 of 25

Two words: GIRL. POWER. Hermione and Emma perfectly embody what the Spice Girls told us back in the '90s. You go girls!
